SIGNS OF SHARING is a unique set of materials that provides educators whose responsibilities include the integration of hearing-impaired children, with a multifaceted tool to teach sign language and deaf awareness. Included is an initial section on mainstreaming deaf children in regular classrooms which is followed by a section on deaf awareness that provides complete information, goals, necessary materials, and step-by-step activities for a class to learn by the hands-on approach. The main section of the book is a complete teacher's guide to teach sign language to preschool through third grade students in classrooms and organizations. There are 28 lessons designed to provide creative, exciting, and fun ways to learn and use sign language. Each lesson includes a list of signs to be introduced, materials needed, and numerous activities to present and practice the signs. Each lesson contains sign cards, sign sheets, and activity or song sheets. Suggestions for the use of these materials are given in each lesson. The lessons are arranged to follow the natural progression of a school year. The drawings used to teach the signs are appealing, clear, easy to understand depictions of multicultural children, thus creating a child-oriented curriculum for learning about the world of deafness.

Twelve-year-old Abby North's first hint that something is really wrong with her dad is how long it's taking him to recover from what she thought was routine surgery. Soon, the thing she calls "It" has a real name: cancer. Before, her biggest concerns were her annoying brother, the crush unaware of her existence, and her changing feelings for her best friend, Spence, the boy across the street. Now, her mother cries in the shower, her father is exhausted, and nothing is normal anymore. Amy Ackley's impressive debut is wrenching, heartbreaking, and utterly true.
